Jons Jacob Berzelius, Swedish chemist, early 19th century
Jons Jacob Berzelius, Swedish chemist, early 19th century. Berzelius devised the first consistently accurate method of using the oxidation technique developed by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thenard; a technique which allowed surveys of organic composition to be made. His accurate determination of atomic weights established the laws of combination and John Daltons atomic theory. He introduced modern chemical symbols and discovered the elements selenium, thorium and cerium

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed Jons Jacob Berzelius, a renowned Swedish chemist of the early 19th century. Known for his groundbreaking contributions to the field of chemistry, Berzelius devised an accurate method utilizing Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thenard's oxidation technique. This revolutionary approach allowed for precise surveys of organic composition to be conducted, marking a significant advancement in scientific research. Berzelius' meticulous determination of atomic weights played a pivotal role in establishing the laws of combination and further solidified John Dalton's atomic theory. Additionally, he introduced modern chemical symbols that are still widely used today. His remarkable discoveries extended beyond theoretical concepts as he also identified three elements: selenium, thorium, and cerium. In this engraving portrait by The Print Collector from Heritage Images, we witness the intellectual prowess embodied by Berzelius. With his piercing gaze and distinguished appearance, he personifies dedication to scientific exploration during this transformative period in history. As one delves into this monochrome image capturing a man deeply immersed in his profession, it becomes evident that Jons Jacob Berzelius was not only an influential figure within Sweden but also left an indelible mark on global scientific advancements.
